Palestine
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Wasn't there a similar headline about "Israel" being about to withdraw from Gaza just some months ago? And then it just didn't happen?
Israel doesn't really "hold" any territory in Gaza. They sent in big groups to set up a perimeter somewhere around a building, shoot anything that moves, take some pictures, then retreat back out. Every time they've tried establishing a long-term perimeter, they ended up getting ambushed from behind and mauled.
These headlines, so far at least, have been mostly cases of people misunderstanding how the war is prosecuted by Hamas and Israel.
The IDF was disheartened that their divide and conquer tactic not work, but they rather decided to just keep up the genocide.
